Lyrics Las transeúntes Jorge Drexler

 877

Las transeúntes


Mirando desde mi balcón
las transeúntes
haciendo de cuenta que estoy tomando apuntes
Y ella busca algo en su cartera
y yo me digo ya llegó la primavera.

Y la maceta enfrente se llenó de brotes
y allá abajo el barrio se llenó de escotes.

Y la tarde se escapa
verso adentro y yo sigo buscando
sin encontrar mi centro
y pongo ladrillo sobre ladrillo
y sigo sin dar con el estribillo
y entonces me pregunto

Qué es lo que viste en mi
qué es lo que te hizo abrir así
tus miedos, tus piernas, tu calendario
las siete puertas sagradas de tu santuario,
la extraña luz de tu cámara oscura
el infranqueable cerrojo de tu armadura.

Las transeúntes se han organizado
tienen el deambular sincronizado
y van haciendo su coreografía
con las rodillas del color de la alegría.

Cada farola tiene ya su bailarina
y la banda viene entrando por la esquina

Y la tarde enseña la cintura
y el tiempo enseña que hay cosas que no se curan
y las musas huyen si las asedias
y otra canción que va a quedar a medias
y entonces me pregunto

Qué es lo que viste en mi
qué es lo que te hizo abrir así
tus miedos, tus piernas, tu calendario
las siete puertas sagradas de tu santuario,
la extraña luz de tu cámara oscura
el infranqueable cerrojo de tu armadura.

Qué es lo que viste en mi
qué es lo que te hizo abrir así
Qué es lo que viste en mi
qué es lo que te hizo abrir así
Qué es lo que viste en mi
qué es lo que te hizo abrir así

Thank you because you correct this lyrics
